It's a superstition so follow your own rules. Simple text is cheap,
custom graphics like Harry has are quite a bit more unless they are stock
graphics.

As "expensive" graphics go, mine weren't.

Well, they might charge me more since my boat is only a freshwater boat! ;-)

Just don't name it anything 'salty'. You'll save money!

I would advise against slamming the bow with a bottle of
champers. Can really do a lot of damage.

Nice touch with the skull and cross bones. My daughter wants to name our
boat ChatterBox (after herself). Can't think of a good image to go with
the name. Any G rated ideas?


A cartoon of the girl in question, of course.

Brilliant!

I think a love tap followed with a spray of bubbly will do.
Thanks.

Well, I've seen those newreel images of some woman trying to
christen a large ship and not being able to break the bottle.
They're pretty tough bottles. g

Nah, they make special christening bottles now, with pre-scored glass
and a net to catch the broken shards.

Understood, but I"m pretty sure I still don't want to whack my fiberglass
boat with a bottle, scored or not! Maybe a boat made of steel, but not
fiberglass.

Hell, just use a long neck Lone Star and have at it.

You know, I haven't had a Lone Star Long Neck since the day before I turned
18 when I walked into a San Antonio liquor store (you know the ones with
drive up window for beer and ammo) and told the clerk "tomorrow" would be my
18th birthday, but I just visiting and could I buy a 6 for me and my
friends. He said, are your friends from Texas (my license showed I was from
California) and I said yeah. And he said here you go, happy birthday.
We're talking a few decades back!

On small boats, you pour the bubbly over the bow.
